Frozen Pipe Repair

Frozen pipes are one of a homeowner’s worst nightmares. Imagine this scenario – you’ve just made it back from a weekend ice-fishing trip, and you’re exhausted. You open your front door and head to the bathroom, only to find that your bathroom has an inch of water on the floor, and is flowing into your bedroom. Your pipes have burst. You check your other pipes and notice that they are also frozen, but haven’t burst yet. So, should you try to thaw these pipes before they explode too? Heck no!
